With the help of a national purchasing agreement through Mohawk Lifts as the NJPA vendor of record, MARTA was able to cost-effectively purchase and retrofit several new Westmatic bus wash systems at their Perry and Laredo bus maintenance facilities.

The NJPA (National Joint Powers Alliance) is a government-to-government procurement cooperative that enables government entities to work with pre-approved equipment vendors thus avoiding a lengthy bid cycle.

The Perry facility replaced their aging equipment with two (2) Westmatic Transit-Master wash systems and the Laredo facility replaced theirs with three (3) Transit-Masters.

Ideal for retrofit, the Westmatic 4-Brush Drive-Through Transit-Master has a wash cycle time of approximately 90 seconds.

The system was specially engineered for transit fleets with front mounted bicycle racks. The new wash bays are drive-through style with guided wash process traffic lights and multiple high-pressure spray angles. The system also features Westmatic dryers, wheel wash, roof mop, and our advanced water recycling.
